Written by Ed Brubaker, pencils by Mike Perkins, cover by Steve Epting.
The first of a 3-part Civil War tie-in. While Cap has fallen into the conflict of the Civil War, in a clash with his government and his friends, the people close to him have suffered in their own ways. In Part One of "The Drums of War" we take a look inside S.H.I.E.L.D., and how Cap's girlfriend Agent 13's life is torn apart as her divided loyalties are used against her by her superiors. Also, a new villain emerges, and the Red Skull begins to make himself known...
BONUS REVIEW by DAL BUSH
Oh, baby! FINALLY. The Cap tie-in issues for Civil War! How could this, written by the stellar Ed Brubaker, not completely rock? Well, if he a) spotlighted Cap's supporting cast and b) had it drawn by Mike Perkins. So, that's two ways. Somehow less informative on Cap's viewpoint than Civil War, New Avengers or even Thunderbolts, Ed Brubaker looks more and more like a one trick pony on Cap. When's Bucky coming back? 6 Grahams
